In conducting such a study, information may also be collected on the locations,

durations, and causes of delays. When this is done, the study is known as a travel
time and delay study. Data obtained from travel time and delay studies give a good
indication of the level of service on the study section. These data also aid the traffic
engineer in identifying problem locations, which may require special attention in
order to improve the overall flow of traffic on the route.
Note that when the test vehicle starts at X-X, traveling eastward, all vehicles traveling
westward should get to X-X before the test vehicle, except those that are passed by
the test vehicle when it is traveling westward. Similarly, all vehicles that pass the test
vehicle when it is traveling westward will get to X-X before the test vehicle. The test
vehicle will also get to X-X before all vehicles it passes while traveling westward.
These vehicles have, however, been counted as part of Ne or Ow and therefore,
should be subtracted from the sum of Ne and Ow to determine the number of
westbound vehicles that cross X-X during the time the test vehicle travels from X-X to
Y-Y and back to X-X. These considerations lead to Eq 4.9.

If the test car is traveling at the average speed of all vehicles, it will most likely pass
the same number of vehicles as the number of vehicles that overtake it. Since it is
probable that the test car will not be traveling at the average speed, the second term
of Eq. 4.10 corrects for the difference between the number of vehicles that overtake
the test car and the number of vehicles that are overtaken by the test car.
